Mon 25th June - Fri 29th June

The 2018 Festival week will be fuller and more fun than ever before – every night of the week guaranteed!

A whole range of acoustic music events will be hosted by various Keynsham venues.

And most of this is free! We will ask for donations and our organisers need them.
Where tickets are required please use the online community booking facility at www.keynshamtickets.co.uk

Previously some poor souls managed to get to every event. We’ve tried to make that impossible! But if you do – and can prove it beyond doubt … we’ll find a star prize for you!

Full details for the 2018 festival week coming soon!

PRS for Music licences the use of copyright music across the UK, giving businesses and organisations the legal permission they need to play the music they want. These licences ensure that music publishers, songwriters and composers are fairly rewarded with royalties so they can keep making music – and mean that we’re able to support music at events like this.

Prepare for a beautiful evening of music to be enchanted by- just as a crowd at last year’s Balloon Fiesta where we first saw Three Rivers …..

Three Rivers is a close harmony trio based in Bristol and formed in 2016. Lauren Holloway, Emily Willmott and Lucy Gilbert aim to captivate their audiences with perfectly blended three-part harmonies. Their beautiful cover versions and original songs encompass a variety of genres including jazz, soul, folk and pop mixed with their own elegant and unique style.

Three Rivers will be supported by Lee Rahn, a Singer/Songwriter from Glastonbury, Somerset. Since finishing his studies at the ICMP Music College in London, he has been working on new material for his debut EP. Lee is often regarded as a creative guitarist, picking through alternative tunings and complimented as a thoughtful lyricist and emotive songwriter.

Three of the best local jazz bands, all different, cabaret style, good food – all the ingredients for a good night out, with a wide range of jazz covered.
